# Install
- Grab a release version from the [releases page](https://github.com/kaii-lb/LavenderPhotos/releases)
- Or a nightly version from the [actions page](https://github.com/kaii-lb/LavenderPhotos/actions)
- Or use the [IzzyOnDroid build](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.kaii.photos) with an F-Droid client
# Building
- Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/kaii-lb/LavenderPhotos.git && cd LavenderPhotos`
- Run `mkdir keys` and copy your signing keys as `releasekey.pk8` and `releasekey.x509.pem` into the newly created keys folder
- Run `chmod +x ./build.sh`
- Run `./build.sh tag` where `tag` is one of `release` or `debug`
- Install the resulting `outputs/photos_signed_${tag}_${abi}.apk` (abi is one of `arm64-v8a` or `armeabi-v7a`)
- Note: `build.sh` accepts a `--install` arguement which immediately installs the APK after it finished compiling
- Note: for unsigned builds just use normal grade commands. ie: `./gradlew tag` where `tag` is one of `assembleRelease` or `assembleDebug`
- Resulting unsigned APK will be in `./app/build/outputs/apk/{debug/release}`
